Core Values
These values have served me well so far, in the good and the bad times. Sticking to these will surely benefit me in the future, if not in the present. So I formalized them and and putting it out here, to maybe inspire some of my friends. Without any further ado these are my personal nine commandments.
Love the journey
Learn to love the process as much if not, more than the victory. Remember the feeling of being hungry and don’t get complacent.

Keep doing things
Do things because you never know how dots connect. And don’t expect anything in return, not even from life.

Be patient
Keep working sometimes you aren’t good enough.
Inspired by Gary Vaynerchuk
Be open to new opportunities
Luck is hard work plus opportunity. Gary Vaynerchuk worked all his weekends in his 20s.

Cultivate optimistic DNA

Don’t Complain
Everything is/was your choice, never complain. Choices make who you are.

Approval won’t come from experts
To be a game changer you have to stay outside the game.

Step 1: You suck
Sucking at something is the first step to become sorta good at something.
Inspired by Jake, Adventure Time
Go further, bring someone along
If you want to go faster, go alone; if you want to go further, go with someone. Life is better if you can share it with someone, or share it online(with social media/strangers).
